Hello, I don't like to sound like a bad guy, but I really find it quite inappropriate to discuss this sort of stuff on a public mailing list. This really is a personal matter. If he didn't post any dramatical announcement perhaps he wanted to "leave quietly"?
You know, people sometimes do this sort of stuff for very personal reasons, they just don't want to discuss with public, and who knows, maybe he would return back one day? He wouldn't be first to do that :) Or maybe he is going to stick around as a volunteer? Let's be optimistic! If you really want to know the details, you can always ask him directly. Fortunately he is not dead, so no need to mourn him. As an employee of WMF, he was always very friendly and extremely useful, so indeed I /do/ hope he will stay with us, at least as a volunteer.
